10. UFO Crash Site
A man exploring a bit of forest in the United Kingdom, apparently came across
the crash site of a UFO. He shared pictures of his disturbing discovery after returning home,
and while the photos don't exactly prove a UFO landed in the forest, it's hard to see what
else could have caused such devastation. Here's what happened, Ben Landricombe
from Plymouth stumbled upon a strange area of completely flattened trees in the middle of the
woods while taking his dog for a stroll. According to Ben, there was no immediate clue as to why the
patch of forest had literally been flattened, with the trees pulled down, snapped at the top,
and mangled as if a great flying saucer had made an emergency landing right there in the woods.
Obviously, something huge had come crashing down from the sky. However, if it was an alien ship,
the ship was long gone by the time Ben got there. To make this story even more bizarre,
Ben said that as he was taking the pictures of the crushed trees, he began to feel as if someone was
watching him and his dog! He also heard a bunch of weird sounds coming from deeper in the trees,
so he turned around and ran back to his camper. We'll probably never know what landed here in
the forest, but anyone with eyes and a bit of an imagination can clearly come to the
conclusion it was most likely aliens! 9. The Best Bigfoot Sighting Ever
Do you believe in Bigfoot? Strange footage of a mysterious black figure lurking behind
the trees in the middle of the woods has been called the best Bigfoot sighting ever.
It was a guy named Josh Highcliff who discovered the creature while he was on a hunting trip.
He managed to pull his phone out just in knick of time to get a bit of video evidence. Whatever
he saw, it sure looked a lot like the legendary Bigfoot. It was completely covered in black hair,
at least six or seven feet(2m) tall. It was rummaging through some of the brush.
Unfortunately, we don't know much more than that because the cameraman got frightened,
turned and ran for his life! Nothing was chasing him,
but he didn’t want to stick around and give it a chance if it suddenly decided to.
Josh explained in the video that the bigfoot creature was crouching by a dead Cypress tree
about 50 yards(46m) from him. At first, he thought it was just a hog or maybe even a black bear. He
froze where he was and started filming. When the creature stood up Highcliff knew immediately that
it was not a hog or a bear. It definitely looked like some kind of giant hairy ape monster, he got
scared and took off. It's hard to confirm that this was indeed Bigfoot, but the video evidence
is definitely some of the best proof that we've gotten in the last few years. What would you have
done if you were in that situation? Do you think you would continue filming or flee the scene?
8. Cabin in the Woods A man in Norway was roaming through a rural forest
when he came upon something out of a horror movie. It turned out to be the scariest discovery
he would ever make in his life, a completely abandoned cabin in the middle of the woods. When
he stumbled out of the trees and realized he was standing in front of a cabin that looked like it
belonged in a Blair Witch movie, he worked up the courage to actually go inside and check it out.
What he found inside was just terrible. There weren't any dead bodies or rotting corpses,
but it was definitely abandoned. Whoever had lived in the secluded cabin had left behind almost all
their belongings. There were family photos, interesting trinkets, and even clothes strewn
across the floor. The kitchen was a mess, there were random personal objects on every surface,
and the place looked like a hoarder’s paradise. Unfortunately, the man never did learn who had
been living in the cabin or why they abandoned it so abruptly. After a bit of peeking around,
his good senses finally got the better of him and he decided to high tail it out of there.
What would you do if you found a creepy cabin like this in the forest?
Would you go inside and check it out or run for your life?

Police in Delaware have finally linked the mysterious human skull found in the
woods behind a shopping center to a woman who had vanished without a trace in 2013.
Imagine the surprise of the construction workers who went into the woods to excavate
for a new building project, to discover – not an entire skull – but a fragment of a human skull!
The workers who found the grisly remains quickly handed it over to the police, who had the Delaware
Division of Forensic Sciences test it out. Nobody could tell if it was the skull of a murder victim
or it had archaeological value, but as it turned out, it was indeed a murder victim.
Forensic scientists were able to identify the skull as belonging to Nancy Nicole Shipley,
who was reported missing way back in April of 2013 over eight years ago! No cause of death
has been determined and no additional bones have been found yet, meaning this cold case
isn't getting any warmer. And considering only a single piece of her skull was found in the woods,
her demise was likely rather unpleasant. Who knows where the rest of her ended up!
6. The Forest of Dead Dolls A woman was left speechless and in shock after she
came across a disturbing collection of dolls in the middle of the woods. This happened in a remote
forest in England, in the region of Staffordshire. The woman, who refused to give her name,
was on a coronavirus lockdown stroll when she made the bizarre discovery.
Because this was during the lockdown, it wasn't as if there were other people around
to make the dolls less creepy, or to explain why they were there in the first place. It was just
her and a dozen or more freaky dolls nailed to the trees. Some were tied to the trees with rope,
but most had simply been nailed in place. The woman didn't really know what to do. All
of a sudden she realized that she was standing in the middle of what looked like some kind of ritual
playground, with dead dolls fixed to the trees as far as she could see in all directions. Plus,
someone had dressed the dolls up in creepy dresses, all of them exactly the same. She
took some pictures and then ran for her life! To this day, nobody has any idea who put the dolls in
the tree, if it was just a prank or something more sinister. Why do you think these dolls were there?
5. The Tunnel of Death A terrifying tunnel of death
from the First World War was recently discovered in a lush French forest. The tunnel was found by
Alain and Pierre Malinowski, who had actually been looking for it since the 1990s. The tunnel
was used by German soldiers in May of 1917. There were approximately 270 Germans inside the tunnel,
which stretched about 1000 feet(304m) underground. French infantry bombed the area,
and the entrance to the tunnel was sealed. Sadly, all 270 German soldiers suffocated and died.
Since the soldiers weren't French, the government never really tried to find their bodies. The
tunnel was sealed, the bodies were trapped in the earth, and that seemed good enough for everybody.
But now, the death tunnel has finally been revealed. Nobody had known the exact place
of the tunnel, only the story behind it. After ripping through a rural forest with a bulldozer,
the father-son duo of amateur archaeologists finally stumbled upon gas canisters, rifles,
and yes, the corpses of all 270 German soldiers who had suffocated in the collapsed tunnel.
4. The Oldest Forest in the World In New York – specifically in Cairo, New York,
the oldest forest in the entire world has just been discovered. This brings a whole new meaning
to mysterious things found in the woods, right?! Researchers never expected they
would find fossil evidence of a forest over 386 million years old - in the big apple! Obviously,
New York is the last place people would expect the oldest forest on the planet to be,
but that doesn't stop it from being true. Researchers say this forest is only a few million
years older than the previous oldest forest – which, surprise-surprise, is also in New York.
But how do the experts even know a forest once grew and thrived here? They discovered fossils of
root systems dating back to the Devonian period. This was basically when plant life started to
evolve. It was soon after that the Carboniferous period came about – a time when forests dominated
the land, trees grew to enormous sizes, and the atmospheric oxygen increased from 21% to 35%. This
huge burst in oxygen resulted in insects the size of elephants and dragonflies the size of eagles.
3. Louisiana Duck Blind In Louisiana,
there is a floating man cave in the middle of the woods like you wouldn't believe.
It's actually located in the middle of the Bayou, and nobody knows who built the thing. A couple of
hunters stumbled onto it and uploaded the pictures online. They were shocked to discover the biggest
duck blind probably ever built. This thing has three stories, with the first level big enough for
four boats underneath. The second level has a fully equipped kitchen, including a fridge, a
pair of stoves, and a living room with two couches and a TV. There are even theater seats that can
fit 14 comfortably. There's a side porch with a running toilet, a grill for cooking up lunch,
and a bar to whip together some margaritas. Oh yeah, and there's a margarita machine hardwired
to a couple of car batteries! On the third level of the duck blind is a crows’ nest with room for
three people, situated 25 feet(7.6m) in the trees. Whoever built this Bayou mansion put a whole lot
of effort into it. It’s just too bad we don’t know who the masterminds behind the project are!
Would you and your buddies like to stay in a place like this during hunting season?!
2. Jars of the Dead In a remote forest,
archaeologists have uncovered an extremely creepy graveyard that goes back over 1000 years. The
graveyard is filled with old stone jars, which were used like coffins to bury people inside of.
Corpses were literally bent and folded, then stuffed into the jars and simply left to rot.
The jars of the dead were found in the Southeast Asian country of Laos. Now,
you may have heard of this place before – but this is actually a new discovery. There are at least
15 sites in Laos that have stone burial jars. The one we’re talking about right now
was just recently found by archaeologists with the Australian National University,
quite far away from the main jar sites. 137 new jars were uncovered in a secluded woodland,
never before seen by researchers. Unfortunately, the experts still don't really know why these
jars of death were ever used or who it was stuffed inside them. The only thing this newest discovery
has taught archaeologists is that the practice was more widespread than previously thought.
1. Alabama Tavern Archaeologists recently discovered a trove
of interesting artifacts from an Alabama Tavern in the woods. They unearthed pieces of pottery,
nails, and shards of glass from a secluded inn and tavern that played a surprising role in the
Civil War. Some of the artifacts go back to before Alabama became the 22nd state of America in 1819.
The team that made the interesting discoveries is from the University of Alabama, and they found
all these incredible artifacts by digging on the grounds of what is today the Pope’s Tavern Museum.
It's a local history museum that was once used by both the Union forces and the Confederate forces.
During the Civil War, it had been a hospital and command center for both sides.
But other than just a few scraps of glass left behind by settlers hundreds of years ago,
the archaeologists also found some cool civil war artifacts buried in the dirt,
such as a rare Kennedy long rifle and a colonel’s uniform from the Confederate side.
